Well, you can see we've been playing with applique designs here in Embrilliance-land. We all wanted to do something special for you this holiday. Lisa posted some nice fun items earlier, and here are a few from me to you, and Jim tells me he has some on the way too!

To get the most from these designs, please use a current version of Embrilliance 1.125 or later. This allows you to change the applique settings from Satin to E-Stitch to Blanket, vary the widths etc.

Thanks so much for the Christmas gifts. I am excited about the possibllities for changing the outline types for all these shapes. Don't have much time to play tonight but know these are useful gifts from you and Lisa and Jim...
Merry Christmas!

Some downunder summer christmas designs would be wonderful, Brian. And yes, I definitely think you need to do some on-the-spot research first LOL.
I too had difficulty getting both yours and Lisa's collections to show so am about to re-download both with fingers crossed. Can you give me a clue as to the filepath that the collections should be in. At the moment, I have Embrilliance/Collections/Briton Leap (which is a folder containing a .bd file and a .lf file). Earlier today I also had both yours and Lisa's collections showing in Windows Explorer Embrilliance/Collections/Embrilliance/ - the last-mentioned being a folder containing both the Xmas Gift collections (I re-named Lisa's). However, only Lisa's shows up in the Library within the Embrilliance program for some reason (together with the Briton Leap collection of course). Does each collection have to have a separate folder i.e. Embrilliance/Collections/Brian's Xmas Gift and Embrilliance/Collections/Lisa's Xmas Gift? I think I tried that and they still did not show in the Library. Anyway, as I said, will re-download both and see what happens. Please do not spend your valuable Christmas holiday time on this - it is something that can wait for a reply for as long as you like. TIA.

Oh yes! Success with both collections. Easy-peasy - just delete all both previous files - I deleted the whole Embrilliance/Collections/Embrilliance folder - re-download the new collections, open Embrilliance and drag the newly downloaded files over one by one. Thanks again to Brian and Lisa for their generous gift and for taking the time to sort out the little hiccoughs along the way. Go and have some more egg nog and enjoy the rest of the day.
Cheers, Pam
